✦ Synopsis
While community participation has become widely practised there has been little systematic assessment of the processes involved. A framework has been developed to measure participation on a number of dimensions and this article applies this framework to a project in Tanzania. The framework helps to systematically assess the nature and extent of community participation, but a number of problems were identified as well. Suggestions are made as how to improve upon the framework and make it a useful tool for managers.
